“Raquel was so great with my pup! He tends to get anxious when at a new place and I could tell he felt comfortable. She sent me a picture of him wrapped up in a blanket and he was a happy pup upon my return. This is my first time leaving him outside of family, and I felt at ease with Raquel! :)”
About: I care for my own dog every day and have been pet sitting for family and friends for the past 2 years. I always treat every pet as my own, giving them love, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I do school at home, which allows me to take frequent breaks to care for pets throughout the day. I’m usually home, so your dog won’t be left alone, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and exercise. I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in my home. Your dog will be supervised at all times, cared for with attention and affection, and given plenty of playtime and walks. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and like part of the family while in my care. To make sure every pet has a safe and happy stay, I can only host dogs who are spayed/neutered and not in heat. This helps keep things calm, fun, and stress-free for all the pups in my care. Thank you for understanding! 💕🐾

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life! I currently have one cat who is like my child. I grew up caring for gerbils, dogs, Guinea pigs, rabbits and fish as well. I love animals and truly enjoy their company - I’d love to have the chance to meet and care for yours! I’m an attentive and affectionate owner and caregiver to all kinds of pets, both big and small. I have experience administering medication as well, my childhood cat was diabetic so I have lots of experience with injectable medication. I’m very flexible schedule wise! I currently work part time and set my own hours, but I mostly work evenings. I spend as much time with my pets as possible. I prefer afternoon bookings, but I can do nights as well. I currently can’t host in my own house due to animal restrictions! I’m available for drop-ins and house sitting. I’m a very clean person and always respect other peoples spaces. I’m very competent and have no issue following whatever instructions you give me regarding how you need your pet cared for.
“Chris was amazing with Milena! He took great care of her throughout the day and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind.

Thank you so much!!”
“Tony was fantastic! Not only was he able to watch our Bailey on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, he made sure that celebrating with his family didn’t distract from making sure Bailey got plenty of walks in. I was updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which was a nice addition. We will definitely use Tony again when we are in town. Could not be more satisfied! Thanks Tony!”
About: Hi there! I'm a passionate animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets. Obsessed with reptiles as well though I do not have any at the moment, how I wish I had a zoo! I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy building trust with all pets while providing plenty of attention, and affection. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and secure while you're away, and to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family members. Rover has helped me with my vacation planning and I’m hopeful to lend a helping hand, as well in my local community! I work from home and have some flexibility when not traveling! I have two older children that can assist with cuddles and playtime, as we are all pet obsessed! I have an unfenced yard at the moment but I do have a nice sized back yard for play on a leash, I also live close to Ponciana’s Community Park which has a dog park for both small and large breeds, there is also a dog park within my community, so plenty of play space. While I provide attentive, compassionate care and take every reasonable precaution to ensure your pet's safety and well-being, pet owners remain responsible for disclosing any medical conditions, behavioral concerns, allergies, or special care requirements prior to services. At the moment I cannot accept to board all dog breeds, due to strict community regulations but can offer drop ins for those breeds I may not be able to board.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lake Wales on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 909 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lake Wales. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lake Wales commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 909 sitters in Lake Wales, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
